JY->What I mean is that when a untrained person reads a file in Word that
  ->contains a macro virus, how are they going to know that they are not
  ->just "reading the message".  That is the point I am getting at.
Because we won't tell them that by "reading" a document they will get a
virus. We will tell them by launching a macro in Word they might get
one. We need to be more specific when needed, as not to mislead people.
I'm always amazed at the number of people who think a virus is a
mystical thing that travels from computer to computer.
